Maternal immunization programs postnatal immune responses and reduces atherosclerosis in offspring.
Maternal hypercholesterolemia during pregnancy increases offspring susceptibility to atherosclerosis by an oxidation-dependent mechanism. The present studies investigated whether maternal immunization with oxidized LDL (OxLDL) before pregnancy protects the fetus from atherogenic in utero programming by maternal hypercholesterolemia. Maternal immunization of NZW rabbits and LDL receptor-deficien...
متن کاملMaternal Forced Swimming Reduces Cell Proliferation in the Postnatal Dentate Gyrus of Mouse Offspring
Physical exercise positively affects the metabolism and induces proliferation of precursor cells in the adult brain. Maternal exercise likewise provokes adaptations early in the offspring. Using a high-intensity swimming protocol that comprises forced swim training before and during pregnancy, we determined the effect of maternal swimming on the mouse offspring's neurogenesis. Our data demonstr...
متن کاملXenogenic macrophage immunization reduces atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E knockout mice.
Atherosclerosis is a complex chronic inflammatory disease in which macrophages play a critical role, and the intervention of the inflammatory process in atherogenesis could be a therapeutic strategy. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of xenogenic macrophage immunization on the atherosclerotic lesion formation in a model of murine atherosclerosis. Apolipoprotein E knockout (apoE-KO) mi...
متن کاملPeptidylarginine deiminase inhibition reduces vascular damage and modulates innate immune responses in murine models of atherosclerosis.
RATIONALE Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation promotes vascular damage, thrombosis, and activation of interferon-α-producing plasmacytoid dendritic cells in diseased arteries. Peptidylarginine deiminase inhibition is a strategy that can decrease in vivo NET formation. OBJECTIVE To test whether peptidylarginine deiminase inhibition, a novel approach to targeting arterial disease, can...
متن کاملPrenatal maternal stress exposure and immune function in the offspring.
The intra-uterine environment provides the first regulatory connection for the developing fetus and shapes its physiological responses in preparation for postnatal life. Psychological stress acts as a programming determinant by setting functional parameters to abnormal levels, thus inducing postnatal maladaptation. The effects of prenatal maternal stress (PNMS) on the developing immune system h...
